The other animals understood how to vote, but could never think of any resolutions of their own. Snowball and Napoleon were by far the most active in the debates.

Snowball and Napoleon were the most intelligent and active of all the animals at the farm. The fact that they even argued about those suggestions they seemed to agree with, clearly shows that there was an underlying fight for power between them. There was a need to show that they were somehow not part of the same mind, by means of opposing to whatever the other one suggested.
